## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need change detection for ctvnews.ca — not just a one-off status check. It is ideal for scheduling recurring polls where you only want to act when the up/down status has actually shifted, leveraging the 90-day stored history for comparison. Prefer this over a plain is-down check when building alerting workflows or audit trails for CTV News availability.

## Known failure modes

- No previous check stored (first call returns no comparison data)
- ctvnews.ca check itself times out or errors (upstream connectivity issue)
- Stored result expired beyond 90-day window (comparison unavailable)
- Payment of $0.02 USDC not fulfilled (x402 payment required error)
